Sixty elderly diabetics (type II) their age ranged from 60-75 years had been divided into two equal groups; group (A) treated by 40-minute passive stretching exercises, while the group (B) treated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks. Blood glucose level,Time up and go test (TUG) and Fatigue severity scale were done before and after 12 weeks of the study.Conclusion: Both electrical stimulation and passive stretching are effective to lowering blood glucose level and can be proposed for those people restricted to perform exercise.
Background: Physical exercise is one of the bases for controlling and treatment type 2 diabetes mellitus. But not all diabetic elderly is able to perform physical exercise because of their physical limitation condition. The approach for those people in this study is electrical stimulation and passive stretching. Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of passive stretching and electrical stimulation on blood glucose level, functional mobility and Perceived-Fatigue in diabetic elderly. Methods: Sixty elderly diabetics (type II) their age ranged from 60-75 years had been divided into two equal groups; group (A) treated by 40-minute passive stretching exercises, while the group (B) treated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks. Blood glucose level,Time up and go test (TUG) and Fatigue severity scale were done before and after 12 weeks of the study.

| passive stretching for group A | Other | A description of stretch is performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The stretches included (in the order they were applied): Seated knee flexor (bilateral); Seated knee flexor-hip adductor (bilateral); Seated shoulder lateral flexor (bilateral); Supine hip flexor- knee extensor (unilateral). Seated hip external rotators, extensor (unilateral); Seated shoulder extensors, adductors, retractors (unilateral). Supine knee flexor-plantar flexor (unilateral); Prone hip flexor (unilateral); Seated shoulder flexors, depressors (bilateral); Seated shoulder and elbow flexors (unilateral). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| an HbA1c . | blood glucose levels glycated haemoglobien | at baseline and after three month |
| fasting blood glucose levels | values were obtained for fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels/baseline, then 2 hours after the meal (postprandial). | at baseline and after three month |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| time of up and go test | measure the time of the test | at baseline and after three month |
| score of fatigue severity scale | severity from 1 to 7The strongly disagreement was related to number 1 while the strongly agreement was related to number 7. The scoring is completed by calculating the average answer to the questions (adding up all the answers and dividing by nine). Greater FSS scores mean greater perceived-fatigue. |
